LEARN TO KNIT NORA`S CARDIGAN FROM THE MOVIE "TROLL"!
The Troll Cardigan – A Complete Norwegian Sweater Course
The Troll Cardigan became the most popular course I have ever created.
Knitters from all over the world have knitted this traditional Norwegian cardigan with me — some of them even more than once.
This is not just a pattern.
It is a complete step-by-step knitting journey where I guide you through the entire process of creating a traditional Norwegian cardigan.
Inside the course you will learn:
• How to read and understand traditional Norwegian colorwork
• Yarn choices and color combinations
• Knitting the body and sleeves
• Steeking (cutting your knitting safely and confidently)
• Finishing techniques for a professional result
• Button bands and final details
You will see exactly what to do — stitch by stitch.
The course includes detailed video lessons, clear explanations, and guidance all the way to a finished cardigan.
A sweater with history
This cardigan is inspired by traditional Norwegian knitting traditions and vintage design.
Many knitters know it as “The Troll Cardigan” — but its roots go much deeper into Norwegian sweater history.
Lifetime access
You will have lifetime access to the course and can return to the lessons whenever you need.
Knit at your own pace.
Rewatch whenever you like.
